Eighteen: I Believe in You

In the office, Marie knocked on the door and entered, and put the drawing on the table.

“Editor-in-Chief, this is the draft I just received, and the standard is very good!”

Marie walked to the desk. Behind the desk was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was the editor-in-chief of the editorial branch, Madara Izumita.

Izumita Madara has been working in “Weekly Shonen Jump” for ten years. I don’t know how many so-called “excellent” drawings I have seen. When I saw that it was Makoto, I was expressionless.

He didn’t look at the drawing for the first time, but said, “The three comics for this issue have already been finalized, don’t you know?”

“But I think this manga is better than the first three.” Marie Hui felt that something was wrong. Although the manga submitted by each branch to the editor-in-chief for trial and discussion can only be three at most in one issue, this is not unaccommodating. .

And Marie thinks that this “One Punch Man” is even better and can completely replace the previous three comics.

“These three comics are all new works by established cartoonists. Are you a newcomer?” Madara Izumi said without leaving a trace, as if he had guessed something, or the front desk called to report.”I also invite the editor-in-chief Quanta Madara to read it, this manga is really excellent.”

Marie didn’t answer publicly, and wanted Madara Izumita to express her opinion after watching One-Punch Man. As an editor, everything had to depend on the quality of the work.

The sound of drawing drafts turning could be heard. Ten minutes later, Quanta Madara read all the drawing works, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He has been an editor for so many years, and manga of this level is rare.

“I’ve read Miyauchi-sensei’s manga, and it’s not as high as this manga.”

After Izumita Madara finished reading it, Marie continued to speak. There were three manga books scheduled to be sent to the headquarters, one of which was Miyauchi’s manga.

The implication of Zhen Hui’s words is that he hopes that “One Punch Man” will replace Miyauchi’s manga and send it to the headquarters for final review.

Madara Izumi was silent for a few seconds, then slowly shook his head and said, “This manga is a newcomer manga artist, you know what happened to our branch recently, we can’t take this risk anymore, so…”

Zhenhui’s complexion changed slightly. Knowing that the other party was targeting her, she said unwillingly, “Editor-in-Chief, you are thinking about it.”

“Don’t think about it. Newcomers often make mistakes. There is no old-fashioned cartoonist insurance, and the other party is still a young junior high school student. What should I do if the other party doesn’t want to draw halfway? This kind of thing has happened before. What we need now is stability. rather than forging ahead.”

Madara Quanta said without a doubt that “One Punch Man” was completely sentenced to death.

Japan is a very serious place, and it is even more vivid in the company’s workplace. As editor-in-chief Izumita Madara said, Marie had no choice but to hold the drawing and leave with a very unsightly face.

After Marie left, Madara Izumi breathed a sigh of relief. The 40-year-old Madara Quanta was in the prime of his life, and he was at the peak of his career. However, Madara Quanta’s career has not been going well recently.

As the editor-in-chief of this branch, the manga recommended by Izumita Madara recently did not perform well, and the headquarters already intends to replace the editor-in-chief.

But at this time, Marie Hui, a junior with excellent grades, began to rise up. The manga works that passed through her hands were all good grades, and several manga had extremely high praise rates, and their reputation among the editors of “Weekly Shonen Jump” was gradually rising.

Although the manga recommended by Marie also has his share of credit as the editor-in-chief, but this can’t make up for the sales disadvantage of Izumita Madara’s other recommended manga. In comparison, he seems even more useless.

It was rumored that Marie might replace Izumita Madara as the new chief editor of the branch.

Such rumors also reached Madara Izumita’s ears. During this sensitive period, Marie came up with another excellent manga.

Izumita Madara couldn’t imagine that if this manga was successfully published in “Weekly Shonen Jump” again, would Marie come into the high-level attention and become the editor-in-chief to squeeze himself out.

So Izumita Madara would rather give up this manga than take any risks. After all, being the editor-in-chief of “Weekly Shonen Jump” is an enviable career, whether it is money or fame. He doesn’t want to lose this job, so he can only do this up.

On the other side, Zhenhui returned to the editing room, faced Su Jie’s eyes, and was suddenly speechless.

“What’s the matter.” Su Jie saw that something was wrong. Zhenhui was still in a good mood when he left, but when he came back, his face was sullen. Su Jie thought of something, and stood up abruptly: “Didn’t pass the review?”

Zhenhui nodded with difficulty, and said, “Where is the editor-in-chief not allowed to pass?”

“It’s really a dog.” Su Jie couldn’t complain. This was the first time Su Jie had done something seriously since time travel, and it was his own career, but he died before he even started.

“Why didn’t it pass?” Su Jie couldn’t figure it out.

“One Punch Man” Su Jie has a lot of confidence. Just now, Zhenhui also performed extremely optimistically. Who would have waited for such a result.

Zhenhui was speechless. She knew what the cause of the incident was. It was obvious that her boss, Madara Izumita, was deliberately targeting her.

She has also heard about the rumors in the company recently, and now that this kind of thing is happening again, if it is not for Madara Izumita’s intentional targeting, she will not believe anything.

“Forget it! I’ll find other comic magazines.” Su Jie didn’t necessarily have to hang himself from a tree.

There are many manga magazines in Japan. Apart from the most famous “Weekly Shonen Jump”, there are many other manga magazines that are equally famous. Su Jie does not believe that other manga magazines will reject the manga “One-Punch Man”.

“Wait.” Seeing Su Jie reaching out to leave with the sketch, Zhenhui felt tormented.

As an editor at the bottom, there is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing a good manga work lost.

Zhenhui loves the editing industry very much. When she was young, she also wanted to be a manga artist, but later found that she did not have this talent, so she changed her career to become an editor. It is also a dream to help others become excellent manga artists. Another continuation.

Seeing Su Jie now, she seemed to see herself when she was young, although it seemed that she was only six or seven years older than Su Jie.

The only difference is that she saw the talent of a cartoonist in Su Jie, who can draw such cartoons at a young age. She believes that Su Jie’s future achievements will never stop here, and she is even more unwilling to look at such a young cartoonist Disappointed to go.

“Don’t take the drawing for now, I’ll try it for you later.” Zhenhui said in her heartMade up his mind, hugged the drawing tightly in his hand, and said solemnly.

“The editor-in-chief’s re-examination can’t pass anywhere, so how can I try?”

Su Jie looked at the woman in front of him. She was shrewd and capable before, but now she showed a woman’s demeanor of softness on the outside and strength on the inside.

“As long as you believe in me, I’ll go to the editor-in-chief. Such excellent comics shouldn’t be buried.”

Zhenhui gritted her teeth and said, since the rules cannot pass the target of Quanta Madara, then go beyond these rules and go directly to the chief person in charge.

Su Jie’s hand had already touched the drawing, and he stopped when he heard Zhenhui’s words. Looking at the firm gaze in Zhenhui’s eyes, something seemed to be touched in his heart, and he said, “Okay, I believe you.
