Section 33 Opening (3)

"Why not?" Spencer drank all the coffee: "If Ai Jun agrees, this matter will be handled by me. I believe that after the release of "Ocean Cookies" and "Points and Lines", Americans have already gained a certain degree of understanding of Ai Jun's talent... there will definitely be no problem."

"This matter...please allow me to think about it, is that OK?"

"Of course, this is a must."

Kato Maki slowly walked to his side: "I haven't had a new collaboration with Ai Jun for a long time. I just know the recent situation through your works, but I didn't expect that while publishing my own works, I could still take on such a big deal! It's really admirable!"

"Where! It's just a small idea from me that makes you laugh."

Seeing his slightly shy salute, Kato winked at Nishio thoughtfully. The latter nodded in understanding. When Ai Fei sat down again, he immediately took out a beautifully packaged gift bag from his arms: "This is a gift prepared by our staff to celebrate the new opening of Ai Jun's company. Please accept it."

"Then, I'll get it!" Ai Fei was not polite, and came directly over, raised his forehead to express his gratitude, and then handed it to his mother. According to Japanese rules, this kind of gift must be carefully registered and estimated - if it is not cash - when the other party has a similar festive event, the same gift must be presented at the same price.

After giving the gift, Nishio was not polite and directly brought the topic to the main point: "Ai Jun, I and some editors from our club have been paying attention to your latest works recently."

"oh?"

"Hi Yi! That's it. From the point of view of storyline, "Crayon Shin-chief" is definitely a very funny manga product that makes many people feel strange. When I first saw this work, I thought that another talented manga artist appeared in Japan! Even after watching this work, I realized that it was Ai Jun's masterpiece."

Ai Fei smiled modestly: "There are many problems with this book itself, but it is just to raise more funds to prepare for opening an animation studio like this in a short period of time, so he rushed to the scene."

"But! In contrast to the excellence of "Crayon Shin-chan" in terms of the publishing style and picture content, there is no thorough main line in this work. In other words, even if readers lack a few episodes and do not see it, it will not affect the overall story development context. Is that true?"

"It seems that "Crayon Shin-chan" has only two episodes released, right? It shouldn't be mentioned that there are a few episodes missing now, right?"

Nishio laughed: "It was like this. But if readers find that the story inside is not the kind of comic work with continuity when facing "jump", you think..."

Ai Fei suddenly stopped him: "Who said I was going to put "Crayon Shin-chief" in the serialization of "jump"?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not! I have prepared other works for the first issue of the new magazine. As for "Crayon Shin-chan", Yuwu will release a single-type version for the time being. When the sales of the new magazine are rising, I will include "Crayon Shin-chan"!"

"Is that true?" Nishio and others exchanged doubtful eyes, but finally couldn't suppress their curiosity: "So... Ai Jun, can you show us the story you are going to publish in a new magazine?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Ai Fei stood up with a smile, walked to the back of the desk, opened the drawer and took out a picture book that had been bound into a book, and handed it to Nishio.

Nishio took it, regardless of whether it was rude or not, and opened it directly: "…………” After a while, he handed the painting to Kato again. The latter opened it and looked through a few pages, and his eyebrows were involuntarily twisted together: "Ai Jun... Is this the new work you prepared?"

“Yes, is there any problem?”

"Haha... nothing..." Kato reluctantly closed the picture book and handed it to Ai Fei, and made a few noises: "When I watched Tezuka's "The Emperor of the Forest", I thought I had already had the resistance to the stimulation brought to me by the new work! Haha... It's really ridiculous!"

“Eh?”

"Nothing..." Kato smiled bitterly: "I never understood whether it was because the conditions offered by the schoolchildren club for Ai Jun were not attractive enough? Now I know that people like Ai Jun are destined to stay in one place for a long time. You will always find ways to create your own space. Your goal is to!"

Such words made Ai Fei really unable to answer, so he had to smile and deal with it.

"So, will Ai Jun's new work be left to Yu Wu for printing?"

"Yes. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce it to you. This is the head of the business department of Yuwu Printing Factory, Mr. Kojima."

Kojima Rang stood up from one side and saluted everyone: "I am Kojima Rang, please take care of me."

Before leaving, Kato and others, Reiko Kato leaned close to Ai Fei and said in a low voice: "I like Ai Jun's portrait very much, thank you very much!" Then she stepped up and caught up with her father's footsteps.

"I don't know what Ai Fei's portrait refers to..."

“Eh?”

Kojima made him laugh: "But you can see that you must have left a deep impression on Miss Reiko!"

Ai Fei looked at his smiling face blankly: "Kun Xiaojima, what you mean is not..."

"I didn't say anything! If Ai Jun feels something, it's your own business."

Ai Fei waved his hand unconsciously: "Forget it! Don't say such things. Your factory has almost prepared the printing and distribution of my new magazine, right?"

"Hi Yi!" When talking about the main business, Kojima Joe stopped joking: "Just as I said to you just now, I wonder if you are satisfied with Yuwu's conditions?"

"Do you know? What impressed me is not the conditions such as limited considerations you proposed, but the tacit understanding formed in work proposed by Kojima Jun! Such a language is the ultimate reason why I promised to cooperate with you!"

"If you say this, you agree? That's right?"

"I thought about it and thought that I should not sign a long-term cooperative relationship with you. However, in recent times, I will still give Yu Wu the printing and distribution of my magazine to be responsible for - this is the biggest concession."

Although it is still a little far from what I asked for, Kojima also knew that since the other party said such a thing, there is no room for change - let's talk about the future things in the future!

After seeing off Kojima Rang, the spacious studio seemed much empty. Ai Fei took out a thick picture book from his desk: "Mr. Aoye?"

"Hi Yi!" Aoba, Watanabe and others gathered around: "Ah! This is the following content of "Crayon Shin-chan" that Ai Jun promised me, right?"

"Three days!" Ai Fei stretched out his three fingers: "It can only be three days at most. I will hand over this only manuscript to Yuwu and let them print it, so I must not lose it or damage it!"

"..." Qingye didn't know if he listened to it, so he took the painting and looked through it on the spot: "…………”

"Hey, have you heard what I said?"

"Uh..." Qingye pushed away the few 'floating heads' around her chest: "What?"

"……………” Ai Fei repeated helplessly.

"Don't worry! In three days, I will send the book back to you myself."

"Don't forget?"

"No, no!"

"Okay then." Ai Fei reluctantly felt relieved: "Oh, please wait!"

He walked to his mother who was busy cleaning the room and whispered a few times. The latter looked up at Qingye and others and looked at him: "Oh, no, Dad and I don't want to go. When Xiao Aijun is with his friends...?"

Ai Fei frowned: "Are you... sure?"

"Don't worry, mom is sure. Oh, please wait." Ai Shizuko walked to the corner of no one, flipped over her body, took out a thick stack of banknotes and handed them to her son.

Ai Fei took the money and looked at his mother again. The latter waved his hands frequently and signaled him to go out with his friends quickly. Then he walked back: "Hey, Watanabe, a new beef shop is opened next to Takashimaya Department Store. Do you want to try it?"

"Gudong!" Watanabe's saliva was so obvious that even he felt a little embarrassed, with a light flashing on his big buck teeth: "Is it really OK?"

"Mr. Aoye, are you here too?"

"Since that's the case..." Qingye is not that kind of petty boy: "I'll disturb you!"

"Mom and Dad, then, please give me a message here."
