Zongman: Why is your comic full of knives?

Night, 23:30.

If it was last week when he didn't draw comics, Nangong Mu would have gone to rest by now.

But today, he got such a clear hint from Yinsha Jianzhang, so he still had to work a little harder.

"I'll draw for another 20 minutes and then I'll take a break."

Nangong Mu stood up and stretched his body a little.

Just as he was about to sit back down, his cell phone rang.

The caller was Yinsha Jianzhang.

He answered the call.

"Nangong......Teacher."

The weak voice was like the murmur of Sadako crawling out of the TV, and

Nangong Mu was so scared that he almost dropped his phone.

"you are sick?"

"without...Yes, it's too...hungry"

"If you're hungry, go eat first. Don't force yourself to call me."

"If you don't know, you might think it was my fault."

"......"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then the editor spoke with resentment:

"I’m so hungry, isn’t it you who made me so hungry!"

? ?

It’s me who made me so hungry?

Nangong Mu blinked, hesitated, and asked:"Tell me in detail?"

"Too hungry, can't give details"

"Let me make it short."

"Because of Teacher Nangong, the company's regular meeting today has not ended until now."

"Remember you said last time that only the editor-in-chief is eligible to participate, what does it have to do with you, a junior editor?"

Yinsha saw Zhang wanted to cry but had no tears:"Because I am your editor-in-charge, I was allowed to attend as an exception by Editor-in-Chief Minano."

Remember this guy said that the regular meeting usually starts at 18:00?

Now it is 23:32, which means it has been open for a full 5 and a half hours!?

Is this a corporate slave?

"Tsk, so miserable!"

Yinsha saw Zhang expectantly said:"Teacher Nangong, if you really think I'm miserable, why not delete the last email?"

"Hey, I've already expressed my sympathy for you verbally, why do you still need me to give you actual benefits?"

"！！"

"Too much!"

Without continuing to talk nonsense with the other party, Nangong Mu said:"Is there something important that you called me so urgently?"

"That's right!"

As the conversation went on,

Yinsha noticed that Zhang's voice was much stronger than when he first called.

The editor said with some excitement:"Congratulations, Mr. Nangong"

"The new serialization plan has been approved!"

Although he was prepared when he heard those words in the afternoon,

Nangong Mu still didn't expect the other party to act so quickly! His calm heart was also involuntarily stirred.

"I understand. Thank Editor-in-Chief Minano for me."

"？？"

747 Yinsha saw Zhang's smile froze, and said faintly:"Teacher Nangong, I am your editor-in-charge."

"Of course I know about this."

Nangong Mu replied calmly:"But you are just a small editor, you can't interfere with this kind of thing anyway, right?"

"It goes without saying that it was the help of Chief Editor Minano, so I have to express my gratitude."

Damn it! This is really too much!!

What's wrong with a junior editor? A junior editor still has the role of a junior editor!!

If I hadn't helped this matter,...Well, it really didn't have much of an impact.

Yinsha saw Zhang suddenly became a little discouraged.

Following such an excellent author, his abilities had no place to be used, and he couldn't help much.

He had to trouble the editor-in-chief Minano every time.

"simply...Like a burden!"

"After all, for an author as outstanding as Mr. Nangong, the editor-in-chief should be responsible, right?"

"No matter what aspect, a small editor like me can't provide any help at all!"

Thinking of this, and with it being nearly midnight and an empty stomach, the small editor suddenly became emo.

""Hello."

Nangong Mu's voice on the phone brought Yinshajian Zhang back to his senses from his own world.

"Sorry, I was just daydreaming."

There was inevitably a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"It seems that you didn't hear what I just said."

As if he didn't notice the change in the other party's mood,

Nangong Mu said helplessly:"Then I will say it again, and you must listen carefully this time."

"Not only do I want to thank Editor-in-Chief Minano, you should also find time to thank others, do you understand?"

"Eh?"

"What? Do you think everyone can get the role of the protagonist like you?

Do you believe that if another editor-in-chief sees that my book has such good results, he will take over directly and be responsible for everything?"

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing this in the workplace, and you will not be blamed, and you will be the only one who gets hurt, but this is the workplace!"

They are in high positions and they represent the company's rules to a certain extent.

"So, now you should understand how lucky you are to have met Editor-in-Chief Minano, right?"

"The other party is trying hard to train you, you can't let her down, you have to work hard, ok?"

Yinsha saw Zhang was stunned, and then a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It's really...It's not nice!

You're so upset over such a small thing.

Just like Nangong said, you're lucky enough compared to others! It's nice to meet such a good author.......Although this guy always bullies you and has a bit of a bad taste, you should have seen those authors who are responsible for the editor, right?

Sometimes the drawings are obviously a mess, but they are still making specious arguments, wanting to serialize, but the number is very far away, and sometimes you have to go through hell to urge the manuscript on the deadline!

This guy doesn't need you to do anything, he will complete everything by himself, isn't it nice to win without doing anything! ?

In addition to this guy, you can also meet such a good editor-in-chief!

Today, such an important meeting brought you with him, and he also took care of you in various other places...

I can't let Chief Editor Minano down! I'll work hard to become a great editor!

One day this guy will respectfully call me Chief Editor Yinsha!

Thinking of this, Yinsha seemed to have seen the coming of that day, with a silly smile on his face, and then proudly raised his head:"Huh, who do you think I am!"

"I don’t need you to worry about this kind of thing for me!!"

Nangong Mu on the other end of the phone had a strange expression on his face.

Should I say that he is worthy of the blond hair and twin tails?

Although this guy’s hairstyle is more like two small braids than twin tails, but from this arrogant tone, even if I put the phone down, I can almost imagine the other person’s current appearance and demeanor!

However......

"Well, I hope this guy can recover."

After all, they have been dealing with each other for such a long time, and he doesn't want the other party to be overwhelmed by the pressure and change a new editor temporarily.

If this really happens, wouldn't the"handle" he has on the other party be useless?

"So, today's meeting must have been interesting, right? How about telling me about it?"

"Ha! Are you a devil? I haven't even had time to eat a bite of food yet!!"

Although the editor complained verbally, he explained the situation at the time in the next second.

"You don't know, when Chief Editor Minano said that your next work was ready, everyone's faces were so shocked....It's so interesting!!"

"We had just finished discussing whether to end Madoka Magica. It was already past 9 p.m. and everyone was tired and hungry."

"The editor-in-chief said that we should finish discussing the remaining topics as soon as possible so that we can get off work quickly, but then Editor-in-Chief Minano did this again!"

"Hahaha! This is so funny!!"

Please describe in detail what's so funny about it."

Nangong Mu was helpless and kindly reminded:"You were also a member of the meeting, right? Didn't you feel hungry at that time?"

"......"

The editor was very depressed and said:"Damn it!"

"Don't remind me of those sad memories!!"

It's my fault.

"Don't interrupt, just listen to me."

"As you know, there are quotas for serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Everyone is queuing up honestly, and when it’s almost their turn, someone suddenly comes along and wants to cut in line. How can they not be angry?"

"Those who are waiting in line at the back have been waiting for such a long time and don’t want there to be one more person in front of them!"

"So everyone was obviously very hungry at the time, but they still started arguing." (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!) Although Nangong Mu didn't see the scene at that time, he could feel how fierce the argument was just by imagining it.

The serial quota is closely related to their performance!

One more serial quota means more bonus.

Of course, there is no reason to give in.

Although the result is already known, it is still very interesting to listen to the process.

"Editor-in-Chief Minano obviously came prepared!"

"Facing several other editors-in-chief, he did not lose the upper hand in the confrontation!"

"Shueisha has always spoken with the quality of its works!

(cjab) has good works but doesn't publish them, and has to rank them with a bunch of mediocre people. This is the beginning of decay!"

The editor said excitedly, her tone was as if she was voicing her opinions.

"As soon as this sentence was uttered, the other editors-in-chief turned pale and were unable to say a word!"

"The editor-in-chief smoothed things over and asked editor-in-chief Minano to take out your work and have a look at it first."

"What is the result after this?...I already said it at the beginning, so I won’t repeat it here"

"In short, congratulations to Teacher Nangong!"

"Thank you, and you’ve worked hard."

Nangong Mu responded with a smile, thought for a moment, and said,"By the way, editor Yinsha still owes me a meal, right?"

"......"

Yin Sha saw Zhang's bitter face and said,"You are a big shot with a fee of over 10 million, and you are still thinking about my meal!?"

Nangong Mu couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, I was just joking."

"Since you have made no contribution but have worked hard, I will treat you to a meal."

"That's more like it."

Yinsha saw Zhang humming and then reacted:"What do you mean I have worked hard even though I have no credit!"

"I have made a huge contribution, okay?"

"Yes, yes, the editing of Yinsha has made a huge contribution!" Nangong Mu responded perfunctorily.

"So, what is the exact time?"

"Let's do it this Saturday at noon. By the way, please invite Chief Editor Minano for me. I want to thank her in person."

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm the extra one!?

Never mind. This guy didn't say it clearly, so Chief Editor Minano is the extra one!

Yinsha saw Zhang comforting himself in his heart and agreed,"No problem"

"But I don't know if Editor Yinsha has time."

"It doesn't matter, just tell her. I'll let you know the specific time and place after I've figured it out in the next few days."

"OK"

"By the way, when will the new work start serialization?"

"Starting from the first week of July, by the way, you don't have any drafts saved for this work, don't forget to draw the rest in the next few days"

"Am I so unreliable in your mind?"

"Well, don't worry, it's just a friendly reminder from the editor. If you can't submit the manuscript on time, be careful of my hell reminder!"

Even though he knew that the other party couldn't see it, Nangong Mu couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"That kind of thing won't happen."

"By the way, now that the meeting has approved the completion of"Magic Circle", when will the next volume be released?"

"《The potential of the first volume of"Magic Circle" has not been exhausted, so the preliminary plan is to release it in August. The details still need to be discussed in the meeting."

"I see."

Nangong Mu touched his chin and said,"Speaking of which, will I offend a lot of people by doing this?"

"July and August every year should be very important, right? If I am one more, one more place will be squeezed out."

"Well, I don't worry about that kind of thing, why do you think so much?"

Yinsha saw that Zhang didn't care and said:"As long as you can always maintain a high level of output, no matter how much gossip you have, what impact will it have on you?"

Nangong Mu was speechless:"That's true"

"By the way, there shouldn't be any confidentiality requirements for these words, right?"

"No"

"Tell whoever you want, even if it's on SNS."

"Then I'll just obey your command?"

"Go ahead."

After hanging up the phone,

Nangong Mu opened the SNS interface, thought for a while, edited a message, checked for typos, and chose to send!

"Good evening, everyone!"

"Just now, I received an exciting news from my editor.......Unfortunately, this is not the information about the second volume of"Magic Circle""

"《Madoka Magica"? No, that's not it."

"I'll be frank. This exciting information has nothing to do with"Magic Circle", so don't waste your time guessing in that direction."

"Can't guess? Then I can only reveal the answer to you~"

"Well, my second work,"We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day", abbreviated as"Anohana", will be serialized in"Weekly Shonen Jump" on the first Monday of July!"

"That’s right! You heard it right, it’s my second work!"

"I am so honored to have two of my works serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump at the same time!"

"I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the editorial staff of Shueisha! Thank you very much for your care and help to a newcomer like me!!"

"Eh? Why is it that"Madoka Magica" is still being serialized, but the second work has already started serialization? Regarding this matter, why don't you guess it~ If someone guesses it right, how about I draw a poster of"Madoka Magica" for him?"

"Of course, it doesn’t matter if no one guesses correctly, the answer will be revealed this Friday! Please be patient!"

"Hey, I was obviously talking about my new work, but how come we ended up talking about Madoka Magica? Ahem, let's get back to the original topic!"

"《"Anohana" is a story about growth and friendship that takes place in summer. I won’t reveal the details here, I believe you will know after reading it!"

"For me, this work means more than"Magic Circle"! So you can look forward to it with confidence!!"

"The above is the latest information I brought to you. Please continue to support me as always in the future!!"

"Thank you very much.jpg (bow)"

As the words"Sent successfully" appeared on the screen, Nangong Mu also let out a sigh of relief.

"I am really a man with a lot of sins!"

Even if he does nothing, when"Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" starts serialization, it will still be discovered by readers.

At that time, serializing two works at the same time will also trigger certain discussions.

In this case, it is better to let him take the initiative to advertise!

The information about when the second volume of"Madoka Magica" will be released was not announced at once in order to maintain the popularity.

The information about the release of the second volume of"Madoka Magica" will be announced on Friday, and"Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" will be serialized in"Weekly Shonen Jump" next Monday.

It can be said to be a perfect seamless connection!

Thinking of this, Nangong Mu also put down his mobile phone with peace of mind, washed up and went to bed.
