Chapter 52 The new official takes office (1)

Fuji Takeuchi is 46 years old and has been working in the school club for 22 years. In addition to the suspension of operation due to bombing and other reasons in the late war, getting up every morning with a briefcase to work is an indispensable part of his life. However, today, he rarely does not get up, his arms crossed behind his head, and he lies on the tatami and doesn't want to get up.

A publishing house like the School Children's Club is not a big deal for him, so he should do his own job! But, working for an 18-year-old boy? Oh, it would be great if I had the courage of Kato Maichiktor. Fuji muttered: "Or, should I quit this job too?"

"Have you got up yet?" the wife asked, pulling open the bedroom door and protruding her head into it.

"Ah..." Fuji hesitated for a moment: "Get up."

"Hi Yi!" The wife walked into the bedroom and began to clean up the bedding on the tatami: "The breakfast is ready. Let's go after you finish eating?"

“…………”

"What's wrong with you?" The wife looked at him with a little puzzled look: "Discomfort?"

"Do you think... should I resign from the school club?" Fuji turned around and asked his wife.

"Resign? My father, what's wrong with you? Why did you quit?"

"I..." Fuji said a few words to his wife, and swallowed them back when he was at his mouth. It was fine if he was bored, why bother to implicate his family? Moreover, she might not understand?

After simply using breakfast, my wife seemed to have not forgotten what he had just said: "Children's father, did you just say... resign?"

"Kato Kan resigned."

"Eh?" Kato Maeichi is a friend of Fuji, and the two families often interacted. When they heard the other party resigning, Fuji Umeko was stunned: "How could it be? Kato kun...?"

"Yes. Kohosokawakawa from the school club transferred the company, and he was still a young man who was only 18 years old, huh! Do you know? The new one is a young man who is only 18 years old!"

"You mean,...?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Fuji handed the rice bowl forward in anger: "Food!"

"Ah, hey!" Meizi refilled a bowl of sorghum rice for her husband: "Then... the child's father, you?"

"Let's hear what conditions he can give me." Fuji picked up the bowl, hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Yes, let's wait and see what conditions he offers."

When he got off the tram, he immediately saw Sakai Shima standing next to the station sign smoking. He hadn't seen him for a few days, and he seemed to have gotten into trouble again?

Seeing him get out of the car, Sakai Shima threw down the cigarette butt and walked over quickly: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's really hard enough." Ai Fei said sarcastically: "You must buy a car and drive it in the future!"

Sakai Nanma smiled: "It is absolutely possible to do it when the school-child club develops."

Smelling the pungent smell of smoke, Ai Fei stood next to him in disgust: "Why, has Sakai Jun started smoking too?"

"Uh?" Sakai Qi was stunned for a moment, noticed the dissatisfaction on his face, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know Ai Jun..."

"Forget it!" Ai Fei waved his hand: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Hi Yi! This is the case. First of all, Mr. Kato Maeichi proposed to resign. Not only himself, he even wanted to contact other people to resign with him at the same time. However, not many people responded, and even Fuji Takeuchi Kun was also reserved for resigning, but he did not express any enthusiasm for Ai Kun's conditions."

Ai Fei listened intently while crossing the road: "Well, you continue talking."

"Hi! The second thing is that several authors of the school children's club, including Osamu Tezuka, have always been waiting and watching the change of the school children's club, and have not expressed any objection or welcomed it."

"Hmph! It's all bad news, is there any good news?"

"Hi Yi!" The two walked into the building, and Sakai Nanma followed suit and explained later: "The good news is from Yuwu. Kojima Jun has sent someone to send gifts, and the gifts from the Merit Club have also been delivered. There is also a person from the Asahi Shimbun. Mr. Hasegawa came to the school club in particular, but because he didn't see Ai Feijun, he seemed a little disappointed!"

"This is not a problem, I will call him to thank him another day."

"Hi Yi!" Sakai Nanma whispered behind him: "Ai Jun, are you going to Kato Jun's stay or not..."

Ai Fei stopped on the stairs: "What do you think?"

"Eh?" Sakai Qima was stunned: "Are you saying...my opinion?"

"Yes. You may hold a very important position in the future. I must think about your opinions seriously. Moreover, I don't know much about Kato Maeichiktor's situation. You also know that my connection with him was just that I published a book called "Ocean Cookies" through the School Children's Club, and I don't know much about his personality?"

"Hi Yi!" Sakai Nanma thought for a while: "Kato kun... In the editor, I mean, he has worked as the editor-in-chief for many years and has all his abilities, but he is a little stiff. Even in the face of the failure of the war, he was determined to be unwilling to let go of the concept of the Great Japan. Of course, this also caused him to disagree with some emerging views in his work, but overall, he is still a good person."

"Good guy..." Ai Fei murmured and walked up the stairs.

The office was the same as when I first came, but there were more Nishio and Tanaka, and others such as Fuji, Momoto Tetsuo, and Takagi Jun were also sitting. Everyone sat around, smoking silently. The air was filled with the choking smell of smoke, but no one spoke. Hearing the sound of the door open, everyone turned around and saw clearly that it was Ai Fei and Sakai Shima, and they stood up one after another.

"Good morning!" Ai Fei nodded and greeted everyone first: "Since I worked with you last time, I haven't seen each other for a long time. I have always been neglecting to greet you and have been rude!"

Fuji looked around and stood up on behalf of everyone: "Good morning. Yesterday I heard Sakai Jun talk to everyone about the future development of the school-child club, and also heard Ai Feijun about the treatment of new and old employees in the future days of the company. I wonder how many of them can be fulfilled in the shortest time? Also, about some newly emerging locations, I wonder how Ai Feijun arranged it?"

"This seems to be my inaugural speech after my first take office." Ai Fei smiled and joked, and then said formally: "Just as Sakai Jun informed everyone on behalf of me yesterday, the treatment of new and old employees of the school children's club will be solved according to the content of Sakai Jun's report yesterday. In terms of salary income and future retirement and resignation, we will take into account everyone's needs as much as possible. As for the candidates for new positions, I want to wait and then make specific assignments to everyone. Now, what I want to do is to meet you one by one, and listen to everyone's opinions on the further development and growth of the school children's club. I hope you can open your heart to me and build the school children's club into a first-class publishing company in Japan! Of course, from a personal perspective, it can also bring you more rewards. Sakai Jun...?"

"Hi Yi!" Sakai Shima nodded: "Please go here."

In the office that originally belonged to Kato Maichi, Ai Fei did not even sit behind the desk that belonged to the former, but sat on the sofa he had sat there. Opposite him was Fuji Takeuchi, the original manager of the company.

Fuji Takeuchi was a little brave when he was with the rest of the editorial department, but when facing Ai Fei alone, it was obvious that he was nervous - no wonder that when Ai Fei discussed the publication with the school children's club represented by him, he humiliated the other party very much. Who knew that a few months passed, and this young man who had been humiliated by him became his new boss?

Ai Fei saw his nervousness and smiled and changed his posture on the sofa: "Fuji-kun?"

"Hi!"

"To be honest, I am very grateful to you!" Without waiting for Fuji to show a surprised expression, he continued: "I understood nothing and didn't understand anything at the beginning. I just thought that with one of my works, I could get the opportunity to cooperate with large publishing companies like the School Children's Club. Haha... I still remember what Fuji-kun said to me now!"

"Please forgive me for being rude! I..."

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong. I absolutely have no intention of sarcasm to you. If I really can't let my heart down at the beginning, Fuji-kun, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to sit with me and chat!"

Fuji Takeuchi couldn't help but wiped his sweat and saluted respectfully: "Hi!"

"This time I came to you because I know that in addition to being responsible for the daily operation and development of the school children's club, you also have an important task to be responsible for the operation of the school children's club advertising department. Is that true?"

"Hi! Thanks to Kohosokawa's love, I have always been in charge of the operation of the advertising department."

"Very good. For a publishing company, the development and growth of the advertising department is very important for the future prospects. Fuji-kun, how has the revenue from the advertising department of the school children's club been like in the past six months?"

"Uh... not as good as before, especially when "Xinbaodao" was released, in the 22nd year of Showa, the revenue of the advertising department was about 34 million yuan, and by August this year, the total revenue of the advertising department was only 15 million yuan. It has been reduced by nearly two-thirds of the amount."

"It's really a big loss! So, Fuji-kun, what do you think is the biggest problem with the decline in the revenue of the advertising department?"

"Of course, it is a shortage of sales. In the history of the school children's club, it seems that only Osamu Tezuka-kun Tezuka published "Xinbaodao" in our club, advertising revenue increased greatly. In other cases, they were in a very embarrassing situation and had to rely on the publishing department to allocate funds. For the staff of the advertising department, this is indeed a very embarrassing thing!"

Ai Fei smiled: "Don't worry about this problem. One day, the advertising department will become the most important department in the entire publishing house. However, at the beginning, we must follow the rules of the advertising department and use more and more sales to invite customers to queue up at the door of the advertising department of our publishing house!"

Fuji Takeuchi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing: "Hi! Let's work hard to realize Ai Feijun's dream and achieve everyone's goals!"

"Then, Fuji-kun, after today, I'll ask you for the work of the Advertising Department of the School Children's Society."

"Uh...Hi Yi! I will do my best to serve the schoolchildren's club!"
