1986, Create a Miss Tokyo Ichiban

Chapter 4 Paper-wasting negotiations

Zhang Yu Baixiang was wiping her husband's sweat.

Today is the day when Zhang Yuxinzheng and his editor officially meet after receiving the notice of manuscript submission.

Kotone could tell with her naked eyes that her father was a little nervous.

But the weather in August made it a bit hot for Mr. Nobumasa Nobuya to wear a shirt and tie.

Unlike most of his peers from island countries, my father from China usually prefers vests and big pants.

"Come on, husband!"

Encouraged by his wife, Zhang Yu Nobumasa nodded fiercely, and then looked at Qinyin expectantly.

Qin Yin wanted to help her forehead. How old are you, but your mental quality is still so poor?

"Come on, Dad! (Sending a sweet smile)"

The father, who had the support of his entire family, took a deep breath, strode out of the small room, and walked towards the coffee shop where they agreed to meet.

His editor, Ms. Takeuchi, should have arrived at Shimono Station. In order not to be rude, Nobumasa Haru prepared to arrive at the meeting place a few minutes early.

Bai Xiang was so lost in thought that she didn't immediately notice that Qin Yin started to pick up her schoolbag.

She didn't react until her daughter, who was carrying a schoolbag, was about to go out.

"Qinyin, where are you going?"

"Xiao Bai asked me to go to her house to do my homework. I will be back before dinner."

Bai Xiang said oh and started to be in a daze again.

Of course Zhang Yuqinyin didn't go to the house of Sayuri, that little follower. She went to her father's interview.

Instead of giving my father any encouragement or anything like that, how could I have the down-to-earth guidance of this eldest lady?

When Kotone walked outside the coffee shop on her short legs, she found that her father was already at the appointed place, chatting with a very fashionable young lady.

Even in an air-conditioned cafe, she was sweating non-stop, and Kotone wanted to cover her eyes not to see the man's performance.

Qinyin induced her father to choose this cafe because it also sells snacks and desserts.

As long as Qinyin is not naughty, the store will usually entertain young customers like her.

She entered the store through the back door, and the waitress looked at her curiously. When she was about to ask something, Kotone stopped her with a serious "shhh" gesture. She also pointed at the store in a serious manner to remind her not to disturb other customers. Signage.

The waitress wanted to laugh a little, but she thought the little girl was funny.

"What does the little guest need?"

"A bean bag, a strawberry cake and a glass of warm milk, thank you."

Kotone took out a thousand yen note and handed it to the waitress.

"If you can be quiet, miss, the rest is your tip."

The waitress laughed: "Then thank you little guest for the tip."

Qin Yin climbed up to a remote booth nearby. Well, this location was just right.

I happened to be able to make eye contact with a man who was wiping his sweat, and I could still hear their conversation.

"I wonder how long it will take Zhang Yusang to finish drawing the content of an episode?"

"Haha, it will only take about three or four days."

Miss Takeuchi frowned.

As expected, he is an author who concentrates on creation, and his creative ability is very strong, but in terms of understanding... Mr. Zhang Yu seems not to understand what he means.

Thinking of the characters of the comic book authors mentioned by her senior editors, she decided to speak more directly.

"Then Zhang Yusang hasn't considered recruiting assistants?"

Ms. Takeuchi thought about the business card of a reliable collaborator group that she had owed a lot of favors to.

She gained additional confidence that she could take the initiative in negotiations.

She was waiting for the other person to complain about not having enough energy to edit the pictures, and then she would solve the problem for her author just right.

Even if Mr. Zhang Yu says that he is temporarily unable to hire an assistant, Ms. Takeuchi will tell him that for the sake of the publishing house, the combination will wait until the end of the month to settle the collaboration expenses.

The cost is not high.

But Nobumasa Haru's answer made Miss Takeuchi a little flustered.

"Assistant? It's not necessary! I can solve it in more than three days at most."

Mr. Zhang Yu works so hard!
But doesn’t everyone say that editing and post-production are the things that interfere most with the thinking of comic book authors?

Ms. Takeuchi was ready to change the topic.

"Then may I ask how many manuscripts Zhang Yusang still has?"

Zhang Yuxinzheng was about to take out all the drawings he had accumulated over the past few days in his handbag.

But his eyes widened in the next second, staring at a position behind Miss Takeuchi in disbelief.The high ponytail, the expressionless face, the big eyes, and the A-[-] white paper held high in the hand.

Music!

Why is she here?

Just when Zhang Yuxinzheng was about to step forward and catch this little guy.

The foresighted Kotone raised another piece of A-[-] paper with a pouty mouth.

[Father, don’t move!Answer the other person's question, otherwise it will be very rude! 】

"Zhang Yusang? What's wrong with you?"

"Ah, it's okay! It's okay!"

Zhang Yuxinzheng smiled and said haha.

The little guy held up his first piece of white paper again.

【Just submit the test twice! 】

Hey, this little guy actually dares to interfere in his father's affairs.

However, Zhang Yuxinzheng still only took out two chapters of manuscripts for the other party to review.

Takeuchi Nao read the manuscript with a hint of apprehension.

Don't crash!

The first three episodes actually just introduced the setting of "Detective".

Maori, his daughter, and several primary school students also appeared.

Especially the way Ke Bei used his identity as a primary school student to solve the case made Miss Takeuchi's eyes sparkle with excitement.

It’s not broken, but it’s extremely attractive!

"Well, Zhang Yusang, the next step is the quotation. Please forgive me for being rude!"

But before Editor Takeuchi could say the words he had been pondering for more than a day.

A piece of white paper was held up behind her.

[Interrupt her offer!Ask her first how she feels about the work! 】

Zhang Yuxinzheng felt that his daughter was right, and he should talk about his works first.

He really interrupted Miss Takeuchi's offer.

Nani?

How I and the editor-in-chief feel about the work!
Wasn't this Zhang Yusang acting very green just now?

How did he know to ask...?
After finally getting over it, Miss Takeuchi was asked another question.

What do you think of Zhang Yusang’s painting skills?
Damn it, I was fooled!

Zhang Yusang was not as harmless as he initially acted.

He did it on purpose!
He deliberately made me despise him, and as a result... what should I quote now?

Takeuchi Nao!Please wake up, you are facing a detective comics author, not a young man who is inexperienced in the world.

"So, what is Zhang Yusang's ideal offer?"

No way, Ms. Takeuchi, who was not thick-skinned enough, was frustrated and lost the right to make the first quotation.

A piece of white paper flashed behind her.

Seeing the numbers written on the white paper, Zhang Yu Shinzheng couldn't help but take a sip of coffee.

Qinyin, you unfilial little thing, do you want to embarrass your father to death?
Six thousand yen for a manuscript, that’s the price for a mature writer, right?
"Five thousand five hundred yen!"

"I'm really sorry, I can only offer [-] yen!"

Qin Yin laughed inwardly.

She wrote six thousand yen on purpose, knowing that her father would discount it himself.

She immediately held up the new white paper.

[For the sake of Miss Takeuchi coming all the way, just [-] yen! 】

Upon hearing the new price, Ms. Takeuchi gritted her teeth: "It can only be [-] yen. This is a big risk I have taken! Please agree to it!"

[Hesitation=》Slump=》Nod to agree with her]

Huh?
What on earth has this kid Qin Yin watched recently? ! !
But Qinyin’s father still did as he was told.

"Well, Zhang Yusang, happy cooperation!"
