1986, Create a Miss Tokyo Ichiban

Chapter 3 The luck of the new editor!
The father and daughter took several detours before returning home.

But they discovered that Bai Xiang's mother had left work early so early.

Bai Xiang's eye circles were a little red.

"Mrs. Oda's future daughter-in-law will come to the store to help in the future, so..."

So Ms. Zhang Yubaixiang was fired by Mrs. Asano.

"But Mrs. Oda still said sorry and sent an apology payment."

The white envelope that Ms. Bai Xiang took out contained [-] yen issued the year before last, ten in total.

The cost of firing Mrs. Oda is really low.

Then the father and daughter smiled guiltily and presented today's harvest, a large stack of [-] yen.

(The reason for feeling guilty is that both father and daughter have lost a little pocket money.)
(In fact, if Qin Yin hadn’t deliberately guided him, his father would have been prepared to give everything to his mother.)
(Chinese) "Zhang Xinzheng~! How can you take your children to gamble~!?"

(Chinese) “Daughter-in-law, you must listen to my explanation!”

The next day, Qinyin got up from the mat, pushed aside her parents who were still awake, and ran to the more than 20 manuscripts that her father had drawn overnight.

Zhang Yu Nobumasa's comic ideals are supported by his wife.

After all, they finally had some savings, and they have not completely given up on their dreams when they were young.

Zhang Yuxinzheng painted from noon yesterday to five o'clock this morning in one breath. Bai Xiang, who had been accompanying him all the time, fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion and did not notice that his daughter had woken up.

Qinyin had already "read" the first ten pictures in the original manuscript last night, and she was now looking at the last ten pictures.

Not long after, twenty first-class comic manuscripts that had been refined by the [Photo Retouching Master] appeared on the table.

The [Photo Retouching Master] skill is to fine-tune the painting to achieve the best expression effect. The style and technique are still the same as those of the original author, so the author will most likely think that he has performed exceptionally well.

The first episode of "Detective Ke Bei" has 37 pages, and Zhang Yu Nobumasa will probably be busy for another two days.

Kotone was lying on the mat doing nothing, thinking that when her father's comics made money, she would like a room of her own.

The first step to becoming a eldest lady is your own room!
On August [-]th, under the encouraging eyes of his wife and daughter, Zhang Yuxinzheng handed the mail bag of his drawings to the postman.

When they came back, the family of three bowed to the small statue at the street corner.

But when she got home, Qinyin curiously asked herself who she had just worshiped, but neither of them could answer.
-
Shueisha was founded in 1926, and its "Shounen Jump" manga magazine was founded in 1968 and changed from a bi-weekly to a weekly one a year later.

Takeuchi Nao looked at the pile of newcomers' manuscripts in front of her with a headache.

But as a newly promoted editor, since there are no good writers at hand, she can only find her "right one" from the ocean of submissions.

Three months ago, she had been hoping to discover an excellent author that she could hold in her arms, but when three months passed, she almost knew in her heart that the chance was to win the jackpot.

Many old editors in the editorial department have secured their positions by serving attentively and digging into the old authors in their hands.

If there were still no results next month, Takeuchi Nao's hands suddenly shook.

Editor Kono's words flashed through her mind.

"I can do it!"

She didn't want to be put down and give up this precious position.

""Detective Conbei"! Ah, is it a detective comic? The author is the father of the eldest lady! Is this pen name serious?!"

Takeuchi Nao suppressed the urge to throw this joking submission into the shredder.

She warned herself over and over again that for every manuscript that passed through her hands, she would send it back to the authors with detailed reasons for rejection. This was the rule she set for herself on the first day she became an editor.

After opening the mailing bag, I found that the manuscript paper was about 30 sheets thick.

This should be the content of the first episode.

"Episode [-]: Modern Sherlock Holmes."

The upper part of the first painting is a large picture of a gloomy and luxurious villa in the jungle.

Takeuchi Nao's eyes suddenly lit up. This painter and his sense of style are so strong!

I just don’t know what the content is.You must know that detective novels and comics are the most criticized and cause problems.

Readers of this genre are very demanding.

But this Kudo Shinji high school student is really handsome!

Hey, the husband who had just solved the murder of his wife discovered the scene of the murder at the amusement park with Miss Mori.

What a tight pace.

Unfortunately, Kudo Shinji was attacked and fainted while following the prisoner.

Takeuchi Nao suddenly nervously grabbed the manuscript.

Oh my god, what did this bad guy feed Kudo Shinji?
Eh?
Why not be born with super powers and become a child?

I can’t turn to the next page!
The male protagonist turns into a child, what will Miss Maori do?
Who are those men in black!
Takeuchi Nao was stunned for a while, and suddenly she shook her head hard.

This book should do...

"Mr. Kono, you think it's good too, right?"

Facing the aggressive gaze of the intern editor, Daisaku Kono took a slow sip of tea.

"If you are asking a question, Miss Takeuchi, please use a questioning tone, not an affirmative tone!"

Miss Takeuchi bowed hurriedly: "So Masai!"

"Ah, just kidding, don't take it so seriously."

Daisaku Kono smiled and looked at the author's name carefully.

The eldest lady’s father?
The name is a bit forgetful.

The real name is Zhang Yu Xinzheng. It looks like a surname that was fused from China. However, there are too many fused surnames, and there is no shortage of this one.

Then that's all that's left...

Daisaku Kono wrote his name on the manuscript approval letter.

"I will bring the manuscript to the conference, and there should be no problem in passing it. So first of all, congratulations to Ms. Takeuchi for finding her own author!"

Takeuchi Nao was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, editor-in-chief, for your support."

"However, Ms. Takeuchi needs to meet with the author to finalize the contract as soon as possible so that I can bring the price to the meeting for approval. The time is a bit tight."

"Hi Yi!"

When Takeuchi Nao walked out of the editor's office holding the manuscript, several senior editors looked over with vague eyes.

When they saw the expressionless Takeuchi Nao, they smiled and joked with each other.

"Ah, it seems that Ms. Takeuchi still failed."

"What I'm saying is that today's competition is so stressful, and newcomers are also working hard."

"Perhaps we should give her some encouragement. After all, this is how everyone has come through?"

"I hope Ms. Takeuchi's next recommendation will be approved. Hey, I'm a bit busy today and the author hasn't submitted the manuscript yet. I'm really anxious!"

Takeuchi Nao had already decided to hold back her emotions, but in the end she couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with the manuscript and burst into laughter.

In the end, she even jumped a few times happily.

YEE~~~!So lucky~!

Takeuchi Nao, come on~!

It turns out that the draft was overdue~.

The expressions of several old editors inadvertently twitched, and the editor-in-chief also said that if we take care of newcomers in this way, the competition will become more and more intense.
