Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 244: The Female Boss of Springfield Bookstore
Only three months after joining the company, he was invited to meet with the top leader of the comics club, which was definitely a first.

Nobuo Oda felt that Springfield Bookstore must be eager to recruit talented people.

When he learned that he was going to meet, he immediately went online to check some details about Springfield Books, especially the news about the person in charge, Haruta Sadako.

Springfield Books lacks top cartoonists. Although it has produced many works and cartoonists with some fame over the years, none of them have reached the top level. There is always a little bit short of it.

Therefore, Oda Shingo made his first judgment with full confidence: the president of Springfield Bookstore wanted to see him because he had the potential to dominate the comics industry.

Haruta Sadako is over 45 and still unmarried. It is said that her face is not beautiful but pretty.

Such a wealthy woman definitely has no shortage of suitors, but there has never been any gossip about her.

Is she the kind of stubborn woman who prefers career? Oda Shingo made a second judgment.

After getting off the car, Oda Shingo looked up at the building of Springfield Books.

Compared to the Qunying Society, this building is obviously newer, built in the 1990s. But it is not very tall, only four floors.

The exterior of the office building, however, was not covered with posters of the main comic books like those of Qunyingshe.

"Minister Mikami." The guard bowed respectfully.

Saburo Mikami nodded and took Oda Shingo into the building.

The decorative atmosphere inside the building is completely different from that of the Qun Ying Society.

It is not a comic book development history of historical scenes, but four decorative paintings of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. The style of furnishings is relatively traditional, and even has many Chinese features.

The elevator is much better than that of Qunyingsha. It is a recent Mitsubishi elevator, and one wall has 120° transparent viewing glass.

Oda Shingo doesn't have to worry about being imprisoned again.

Even if someone is locked up in this kind of elevator, there is no need to worry about embarrassing situations like Fujido Kajuu's, because people outside can see inside and people inside can see outside.

Because he was meeting a middle-aged woman today, he deliberately did not bring Fujido Kaoru or Namikaze Yuzuru with him.

In keeping with Japanese tradition, there are mirrors inside the elevator cars.

Mikami Saburo carefully adjusted his suit, and so did Oda Shingo, since he was meeting an important person.

By the way, almost all Japanese elevators are equipped with mirrors.

Many people mistakenly believe that this is done to prevent perverts, or to accommodate office workers and save them time to groom themselves.

But in fact, it is a regulation of the Ministry of Transport of Japan, which is to assist people using wheelchairs to confirm the entrance and exit and location of the elevator when entering and exiting the elevator.

While in the elevator, Sankami Saburo reminded Oda Shingo: "It is said that Ms. Haruta doesn't like to shake hands with people. When I first came, she did not extend her hand to me."

In fact, according to etiquette, if the woman does not take the initiative to shake hands, the man should not extend his hand to shake hands. And even if shaking hands, it should not be a full shake, but a light touch of half the hand.

The reason why San Shang Saburo reminded this was naturally to take care of his "possible" brother-in-law...

After being introduced by his assistant to the reception room, Oda Nobuo felt the strong traditional atmosphere even more.

The reception room is completely decorated in Japanese style. From the walls to the windows and floors, all are made of bamboo, wood, paper and grass. The furniture is low, with calm colors and simple lines. There are flower arrangements on the table, and movable windows and sliding doors.

Oda Shingo almost suspected that he had arrived at a Japanese-style hot spring hotel.

Yes, that’s right, it’s the place where Mrs. Yukino took the studio on vacation, with the same decoration features.

Fortunately, the person who came out was not Mrs. Yukino, but a professional woman in her forties wearing a work suit.

Age has carved a mature charm on her face, and the traces of time are not easily noticed. The determination and wisdom unique to professional women flash in her deep eyes. Her sharp eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts. Her eyebrows are slightly raised, showing a sense of authority that cannot be underestimated.

The leader of Springfield Society is more heroic than I thought.

"This is Mr. Oda, right?" Haruta Sadako walked over with a smile and extended her hand to Oda Shingo.

Saburo Mikami quickly introduced the two parties.

Oda Shingo gently shook her hand.

Haruta Sadako turned to Mikami Saburo and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mikami-kun."

This is a sign that you can leave, so Saburo Mikami quickly said goodbye.

As he left, he couldn't help but glance at Oda Shingo.

They actually shook hands and wanted to talk alone? Do you take it so seriously...

Oda Shingo also weighed it in his heart, but he just thought that it should be the two reasons he thought of. A middle-aged woman who is working hard for her career just happened to have the opportunity to catch this dominant manga artist worker.

Haruta Sadako sat down at the table with him.

It was a Japanese-style table, and both of them were sitting on their knees.

Oda Nobuo was secretly feeling very uncomfortable.

And Haruta Sadako's constant staring at him made him even more uncomfortable.

Could it be that a middle-aged woman feels that she still has charm? I don’t have such hobbies…

Oda Shingo deliberately maintained a rigid attitude and did not say a single light-hearted word.

Haruta Sadako poured the tea herself and the two exchanged pleasantries.

It was nothing more than commercial flattery. After getting a little familiar with each other, they soon started talking about comics projects.

"If possible, I hope to get more serialized pages." Oda Shingo directly stated his plan.

"Oh? 200 pages?"

"No, 300 pages, two comics serialized at the same time. Maybe three in the future."

"...I always admire the enthusiasm of young people." Haruta Sadako was not in a hurry to agree or reject, and began to change the subject slightly.

Oda Shingo was very experienced and immediately took the initiative to express his working attitude: "I will officially start the dual serialization after I submit 500 pages of preliminary manuscripts in advance."

"..." Haruta Sadako looked at him and suddenly smiled more deeply, "The person that Sister Yukino values ​​is really courageous."

Oda Shingo didn't feel strange.

Mrs. Yukino has good relations with the top management, that's for sure. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made the final decision in the previous negotiations on rights and interests.

It seems that this Ms. Haruta and Mrs. Yukino are old acquaintances.

Hmm? Wait, how old is she? How old is Mrs. Yukino? Why do you call her sister?
Oda Shingo was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask further.

No way... I was just mumbling that I don't have the kind of hobby that makes me still charming...

It must be because Mrs. Yukino is more calm that she is respectfully addressed as Sister? Or maybe it is some kind of title based on generation.

Today is Friday, and the new issue of "Champion" is on sale.

The new episodes of "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" perfectly present the wonderful plot and funny humor.

In the battle with the mineralized substitute female pope, the group's submarine was also scrapped.

Before diving, Bobo said he knew an interesting sign language.

He gestured seriously.

Kakyoin made a cameo comment.

"YEAAAAH!" The two of them made a tacit gesture with their hands.

And at the critical moment when everyone was swallowed by the huge mouth of mineral, Jotaro performed a confession drama.

When they arrived in the desert, the Fool's new helper turned out to be a dog named Ichi.

We just met and I gave Bobo a bowl of "hot dry noodles"...

"Hahaha! Poor Bobo!"

"It's so tragic! I got hit by a dog!"

"This is considered Yan Chong, right?"

"No, let me pound the table for a while! Hahahaha!"

The fans were going crazy.

"JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" has crossed over to top the charts again!

From the number one position in adventure comics, it made a big leap to the number one position in the comedy comics list!
