Higashinoji received a call from Urashima editor-in-chief about half an hour ago.

I also know what the other party is doing to him.

It seems that the president of Urajima Publishing House wants to meet him.

This is a big shot.

At least one word of "capitalist" is absolutely fine.

Urashima Publishing House, Iwakatsu Publishing House, and Moji Bookstore have semi-monopolized the publication rights of textbooks for primary and secondary school students across Japan. Fuji Publishing House, known as the Fourth Manga Publishing House, has been red in eyes. The reason why it is not as good as Urashima, Iwakatsu and Moji are also focusing on comic publishing houses is because of this.

The profit of printing textbooks is very huge, and Urajima Publishing House also has the printing departments and editorial departments such as history, science, literature, etc.

The money earned by these departments in a year can be said to be very terrifying.

Therefore, this Urajima Publishing President is really a capitalist.

"Teacher Higashino." Hosokawa Koharu, who was standing by the gate of Urashima Publishing House, looked around and saw Higashinoji walking towards him, so he waved his hand.

"Editor Hosokawa, long time no see. This is the original manuscript."

Higashinoji also saw Koharu Hosokawa, and walked towards her with a smile while handing over the original manuscript to her.

No matter what happened to him, it would be unchanged that President Urashima still had to hand over the original manuscript to Koharu Hosokawa.

Looking at Higashinoji's smile and no tension at all, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but smile, nodded, and then explained to Higashinoji about the reason why the president of Urashima Publishing House met him this time.

"President Osawa probably came for the serialization of "Unnatural Death". He called me up to talk in advance just now."

"It can be understood." Higashinoji nodded.

This kind of thing can be understood just by thinking about it for a moment. The President of Urajima Publishing cannot be asking him to chat about family matters.

Hosokawa Koharu and Higashinoji said while walking, their voices were very low.

From Hosokawa Koharu's narrative, Higashinoji probably understood what President Osawa thought.

The other party obviously wanted Higashinoji to continue to serialize "Unnatural Death" in "The Cold". After all, this is a popular work, so there is no need to finish it so simply. This time I asked Higashinoji to come here, and I mainly wanted to ask what he meant.

As we walked along the way, many people took the initiative to greet Koharu Hosokawa, and their attitude was very friendly.

This made Higashinoji unable to help but tease: "Why does it feel that after the previous transfer, Hosokawa Editor's status in the publishing house has been improved?"

This was just a simple joke, and Hosokawa Koharu also understood it.

But there was a complicated expression on her face, and she lowered her head and smiled sideways: "It's only a few days that will be thanks to Teacher Higashino."

After she was transferred from Higashinoji, she really felt a lot of cold eyes.

Many people feel that as a female worker, she has no future and has offended the deputy minister of the Ministry of Human Resources, so no one is willing to say hello to her like before.

But after Okajiro was urgently transferred to the branch to manage the unknown magazine of Urashima Publishing House, the attitudes of these colleagues became eager again, which was in sharp contrast to the previous one.

Recommended, [app] is really good, worth installing by book friends, and supporting Android and iPhone!

This is the way of the world.

And Koharu Hosokawa can still keep his mood calm and greet them with a smile. This is also a worldly way of life.

I just don’t know how long the worldly style will last this time.

If Higashinoji and President Osawa fail to have a conversation, the face-changing monsters will probably change their faces again.

She sighed in her heart, took Higashino Drive to the elevator and headed towards the president's office.

The president's office is on the fourth floor, just upstairs of the publishing house's editorial department, and there is no decoration along the way.

Hosokawa Koharu reached out and knocked on the door, greeted the inside, and opened the door after getting permission, and walked into it with Higashinoji.

And in it? There have been middle-aged men waiting long ago.

One is Urashima editor-in-chief? As for the other one, he is more annoying. It should be the president Osawa mentioned by Koharu Hosokawa.

President Oze? His real name is Oze Heki, and he is a smart and capable middle-aged man. Although he looks thin, it is obvious that the other party should be in an external party and has a slightly fat belly.

At this time, Ozawa Hoki was drinking tea. When he saw Higashiji, he immediately put down the tea and smiled and said hello: "Teacher Higashiji, this is the first time we have met. I am Ozawa Hoki."

He stood up and shook hands with Higashinoji, looking calm and seemed to be very talkative.

"Hello, President Osawa, I am Higashinoji." After shook hands with the other party, Higashinoji introduced himself and was pulled down by the other party affectionately.

"Teacher Higashino is the signature of our Urajima Publishing House and the author of the pillars. Do you still remember it? I met Teacher Higashino at the annual meeting last time."

At that time, Higashinoji did meet Osawa Hokishi, but that was happening ten months ago? Higashinoji thought the other party had forgotten it.

Ozawa Hokishi seemed to understand what Higashinoji was thinking.

So he explained: "At that time, Mr. Higashino had already produced two outstanding works and participated in the planning of the animated film "Midnight Bell". Of course, I would pay attention to such a genius."

"Then I would like to thank President Osawa for his praise, and I would like to thank Urashima Publishing House for his assistance." Higashinoji smiled and replied.

This sentence made Ozawa Heji couldn't help but look at him more.

He was indeed praising Higashinoji just now, but generally speaking, shouldn’t modesty be the main focus at this time?

Not only did Higashinoji not look too humble, he nodded calmly.

The most important thing is that he can't hear any arrogance from the other party's voice, as if it's normal to praise him.

It is indeed different from ordinary comic writers. Others are arrogant, but Higashinoji is restrained.

After he thought for a moment, he continued to smile and continued:

"Teacher Higashino doesn't need to thank me. These are the treatments you have won by your own abilities. Whether it is "Midnight Bell", "The Winner Is Justice", "The Lonely Foodie", or "Unnatural Death", you have never disappointed you."

When Ozawa Heji said this, his voice paused slightly.

"I'll just talk about it here. Urashima Publishing House hopes that you can continue to serialize "Unnatural Death".

Should I say that I am the president of Urashima Publishing House who is in charge of the entire Urashima Publishing House? Osawa Yoshiki was very straightforward. After roughly understanding Higashino's personality, he jumped directly and went straight to the topic, giving Higashino's room to think.

The feeling of mastering the scene from beginning to end made Hosokawa Koharu, who was watching next to him, feel frightened.

Some people say that "aura" and "momentum" are all things that are fooling people, but there is no such thing in reality.

But Hosokawa Koharu really felt the "aura" from Osawa Hoshikichi.

Decisive and decisive.

However, it attracts the attention of Hosokawa Koharu more

Higashinoji's expression did not change much, but said softly and firmly: "I'm sorry, I have expressed my thoughts about this matter before. "Unnatural Death" will definitely be completed, President Osawa."

He had already made a decision. No matter what the other party said today, he planned to finish "Unnatural Death".

This unwavering and unretreating reply made Ozawa Heji sigh a little.

When he was at Higashinoji, he was probably thinking about how to pursue the beautiful female student in the next class, and Higashinoji could already talk to him head-on.

This is really admirable.

But no matter how much he admires him, he still has to try to convince the other party.

Ozawa Heji took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and was not discouraged by this small failure.

"Teacher Higashino, have you really thought about it?"

He asked softly, inquiring in a tone, and at the same time took out a form: "This is the internal annual comic sales ranking of our three major comic publishers."

"The first place Urajima Publishing House's "Unnatural Death" has been sold nine volumes so far, with an annual sales of 19.86 million volumes. The second place is "The Magic Installation God X" by Iwakao Publishing House has been sold for 125 volumes so far, with an annual sales of 8.2 million volumes, with a third place."

Daze Heji lists the data word by word.

It was not until this time that Hosokawa Koharu discovered the terribleness of "Unnatural Death".

Just looking at the sales volume of single-line books, the second place is not even enough for "Unnatural Death"!

Yes!

Not even a fraction!

This is not so much a ranking list, but rather a list of "Unnatural Death" that crushes other works.

The kind that doesn't even need to compare.

If this sales are made, "Unnatural Death" only brought Higashinoji 7.9 billion yen in revenue this year. Even if the tax payment is cut, Higashinoji will also earn nearly 6 billion yen in revenue.

Six billion yen

In an instant, Hosokawa Koharu's eyes almost turned into a symbol of ￥ like in the animation.

Because this is really exaggerating!

If it is a paper money, Higashinoji can even swim in it!

Although I had known Higashinoji was very rich, Hosokawa Koharu had never calculated it specifically, and she never thought Higashinoji was so rich.

No wonder Urajima Publishing House doesn't want Higashinoji to finish "Unnatural Death".

This is a big deal.

Just as Hosokawa Koharu was thinking like this, Osawa Hoshikichi on the other side began to speak again.

"Teacher Higashino, although this is a bit bad for me, the president of the publishing house, with "Unnatural Death", even if you can't draw anything later, it will be enough for you to live for a lifetime or two. We don't even require the quality of your paintings."
